Gents, sorry to meddle but please sort out
1) a members discount for the conference
I'm sorry if we had assumed that this was a given. This is standard practice and we even promise conference discounts when people sign up as members. With a small conference fee like this it can be a symbolic amount, and we may not even want to check up on people if that is too much hassle, but it should be there, on paper. So I would suggest using the current prices as members' discount and establish a slightly more expensive non-members fee, but the details are up to you of course.
Have you thought about early bird rates?
2) poster & presenters slots
Again, I'm very sorry that I had assumed this was already part of the plan. I would very, very rarely attend a conference where I don't get to present. People should be able to put up posters and it would be good if we had the option to select some (1-2?) for a short talk. I hope that should not be a problem given that all speakers slots are currently very long indeed.
It would be great if you could tackle these asap in the invites, so that we can move forward with marketing the event.
